“…First, our study demonstrated that a country's degree centrality positively affected its citation counts, which is consistent with prior research (Yan and Ding 2009;Oguz, Kinglsey and John 2014;Chan, Guness and Kim 2015). This finding enriches our understanding about countries' citation counts or research impact in a discipline.…”

“…for the publication be considered in the category, which is why the cut-off point is set at 25% (coinciding with the classification of pure and hybrid publications made by Chan, Guness and Kim (2015)) and excluding the 11 journals and congresses that are not related to the theme. With this, there are 82 journals and 137 congresses (Annex 1) to be analyzed in comparison to the global map of science.…”

E-learning has been continuously present in current educational discourse, thanks to technological advances, learning methodologies and public or organizational policies, among other factors. However, despite its boom and dominance in various subject areas, this thematic does not yet exist in the world system of publications. Therefore, works in this thematic end up being published under related categories, particularly Education or categories within subject area Computer Science, thus fragmenting and make invisible the existing knowledge. This work is based on the hypothesis that the scientific communication of e-learning has a sufficient degree of cohesion to be considered as a thematic category in itself. From a bibliometric approach, its scientific production was analyzed, obtaining the bibliographic data of SCOPUS and SCImago, selecting its main descriptors and generating visualizations through VOSViewer with the mapping overlay technique, to represent its set and proximity. As a result, it was determined that a set of 219 publications show a high bibliometric interrelation among its articles and these are presented transversely between the social sciences, computer science and health. This set serves as a channel of scientific communication and structure of knowledge on the thematic and can therefore be considered as the basis for establishing the "e-learning" thematic category in the world system of scientific publications, contributing to the consolidation of the discipline, to its access and development by researchers.

“…Broadly, the intellectual field of any research domain is mapped by SNA of citation, and co-citation networks (Giannakis, 2012;Wang & Bowers, 2016). It helps to determine influential journals, relationship among them (Polites & Watson, 2009) and their impact (Chuan, Guness, & Kim, 2015;Wang & Bowers, 2016), identify core, most-cited text and influential researchers, highlight gaps in particular research area (Peng, Zhang, Zhong, & Zhu, 2013;Schmidt et al, 2015), and examine whether members of a particular research community share a common social identity (Vidgen et al, 2007;Xu & Chau, 2006). Further, SNA is used with other text mining (Burgess, Grimshaw, & Shaw, 2017), and data reduction approaches to examine identity, diversity, cohesion, and fragmentation in a particular research field (Burgess et al, 2017;Polites & Watson, 2009;Vessey et al, 2002).…”

A social network analysis of ICTD conferences (2006–2017)

Information Technology for Development

Information and Communication Technologies for Development is an interdisciplinary area of research associated with engineering, application, and adoption of ICTs in developing regions and/or for development. The International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD) was started in 2006 with the objective to build a community of scholars and practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. In this paper, we examine the social dimension of ICTD as manifest in co-authorship ties in the papers published in conference proceedings. This research community has 1053 unique authors from 302 institutions in 55 countries. Almost 85% of 456 papers are co-authored by two or more people. Initially, the research community displayed small-world characteristics but the social network subsequently displays a distinct core-periphery structure. Further, collaborative ties among academic institutions in developing countries are comparatively less. A key implication is that institutional support is imperative to initiate and maintain collaborative research ties.
